The next step above these advisories is a high wind warning.
Prior to the passage of the storm, wind warnings were issued in Newfoundland, and throughout the island ferry service was suspended.
Offshore, waves were expected to reach 33 feet (10 m), while marine wind warnings were issued as well.
The following day, heavy rain and strong wind warnings were issued for much of Kyushu.
Frequent high wind warnings are issued during winter through spring.
Never risk parking out overnight without checking the weather forecast for a strong wind warning or the approach of a cold front.
A strong wind warning was also put in effect from Cairns to Bowen.
Additionally, Niue was placed under a strong wind warning.
Later that day, Wallis and Futuna were placed under a strong wind warning.
The extreme wind warning is now expected to be used in these situations.
